My next book, some are wondering,is slowly progressing. I explained delays due to surgeries and puppies. Actually two manuscripts are in (slow) progress. One, Bruce DelReno Mystery III, untitled, but this time the victim is not discovered by Bruce. And, it is not in Willowtree. Two, is a book narrated by a dog. I am working on and trying to decide whether the dog is Bruce's. If so, maybe combining the two stories. A twofer. We'll see.Cheers! Woof!
